SUMMARY:Camp Readiness
DESCRIPTION:Camp Readiness – Building Independence in the Community \nCamp Readiness is designed to help participants develop the skills and confidence needed for greater independence at camp and in the community. Led by a Physical Therapist\, Speech Therapist\, and Teacher of the Visually Impaired\, this program provides individualized support while encouraging participants to build practical life skills in a fun and engaging environment. \nThroughout the program\, participants will practice navigating safely to and from a local grocery store\, planning and creating a menu\, shopping for ingredients\, and preparing a meal together. These hands-on experiences help strengthen communication\, problem-solving\, decision-making\, social interaction\, and community awareness skills that support increased independence. \nIn addition to community-based learning\, participants will enjoy a variety of fun camp activities\, including science experiments\, tie-dyeing shirts\, and a water day. These activities provide opportunities to build friendships\, foster creativity\, and practice teamwork while having fun. \nCamp Readiness is designed to help participants gain confidence\, develop real-world skills\, and increase their independence so they can successfully participate in Rainbow Day Camp and other community experiences. Our goal is to create a supportive\, engaging environment where every participant can learn\, grow\, and thrive. \nPlease RSVP by July 3\, 2026. Cost of this camp is $300 per child. \n
